All units, or just the Sentried units?  Transporters are supposed to load
all Sentried units when they leave a port, but not load any non-Sentried
units.  This is the behavior I see, both in 1.11.0 and 1.10.0 versions.

A friend has reported this to me, but I haven't gotten around to submitting
a real bug report via JitterBug <http://www.freeciv.org/cgi-bin/bugs>.

I believe that a transporter on goto certainly should not dump its cargo in
a city it happens to go through.  What happens with a human-controlled
transporter may be debatable.  Suggestions?
